Not sure I'd call it a comeback or revival, because I've not fallen for the "release is dead" hype. It's changed, it's evolved. It's expanded to social media releases, optimized with keywords and links and resources like video. It's shrunk to the quick-fire pitch, maybe even 140 characters or less. It's all things in between. What I'd say is dead or should be is the blanket release, the spam blast sent to any and everyone without targeting. FWIW.
